What "don't" you like about your BW"?

Driving mode indication it would be nice to have an indication in dash ,which mode were in ,touring ,sport,track etc

It’s there, but it’s small. Right about the middle of the dial that shows the gear and the rpm/speed you can see a smallish icon that changes it shape as you change the mode setting. For example in my mode it will show an icon of a head, the other modes show other icons. Look at the dash and cycle through the modes and you will see the icon change.

I don't know how this thread popped up on the main page but I've never came across since being on the forum since December of last year. It should have stayed burried as I have now been ruined by some of these quirks. I would have never noticed any of these but now this stuff is going to drive me nuts after noticing driving today.

Specifically the turn signal lights not syncing with the indicator and the actual stalks on the column. Those two are going to drive me nuts now after noticing. Mfers

You have a drain ,

These cars will lose power and throw some stupid codes if you park them and don't start them up for a couple of weeks. I installed a battery tender plug in my trunk.

Wait till you try to make a turn and the turning radius sucks !!

The steering feel is kind of numb. Don't get me wrong, this car turns like a beast and grips harder than your body can handle. But the steering feel ain't there buddy.

Yeah, I hear what your saying and then when you tighten it up and really start getting aggressive it feels REALLY GOOD. Lumbering around town it's got some numbness no doubt then when you drive another car/truck especially a Toyota my god you want to talk numbness it makes you appreciate the BW a little more as to how much road feel you actually do get from this Electric Power Steering crap of the last 20+ years!

I installed a pigtail for one under the hood. Is that ok?

Totally fine. The lugs under the hood are meant for 100's of amps in the event of a jump start, so a couple of amps to maintain the battery is fine. For some reason there are folks that are hesitant to use these for battery maintenance, but apply some basic wiring logic and you'll conclude its fine like I did.
